Negaraku is a plagiarism?

Well, it's a hot problem between Indonesia and Malaysia nowadays. They claiming this song as their mine. First I'll put this song. Listen it carefully.

This is Terang Bulan, from Indonesia. It's more old than Negaraku, Malaysia's national anthem. Compare this song's pattern with Negaraku from Malaysia.



This is Negaraku, Malaysia's national anthem. Hear it and you'll know how similar them.

And I'll put this, too.



This is Mamula Moon. You can hear the different between this song with those two songs before. It says that Terang Bulan inspired from this song. But how about Negaraku? This song starts from 0:47, and the first line of this song has a different pattern with two songs before.

Let your ear and heart decide the truth. And you'll see the problem better.

See you next time.

Lagu-lagu Indonesia Inspiratif

Meskipun tahun ini belum berakhir, namun saya ingin memposting 2 lagu yang pada beberapa hari lalu telah pernah saya posting, namun terhapus. Kedua lagu ini adalah lagu yang cukup memberikan inspirasi bagi saya, meski tidak menutup kemungkinan akan ada lagu lain yang sama inspiratifnya dengan kedua lagu ini. Hal ini hanya saya dasarkan pada penilaian subyektif semata, bukan secara obyektif, karena toh kedua lagu ini merupakan lagu yang saya gemari, meski tidak fans dengan artisnya.

Yang pertama adalah lagu dari Sherina Munaf, "Ku Bahagia". Lagu ini adalah OST dari film Laskar Pelangi. Lumayan bagus pesan yang tersisip didalamnya. Silakan menikmati dan menghayatinya sendiri.



Lagu kedua dari d'Masiv. Lagu berjudul "Jangan Menyerah" ini juga merupakan lagu yang menarik untuk didengarkan. Video klip yang menggambarkan lagu ini menunjukkan perjuangan hidup yang hebat. Sesuatu yang sangat menyentuh hati, melihat seseorang yang memiliki masalah yang lebih berat dari kita, namun lebih tabah dibandingkan kita yang mungkin saja dalam masalah kecil saja sudah merasa seperti keadaan kiamat. Saya menyukai lagu ini, meskipun banyak yang menyatakan lagu ini hasil plagiat.



Untuk sekarang hanya kedua lagu ini yang dapat memberika inspirasi bagi saya setiap kali saya mendengarkannya. Semoga saja lagu-lagu semacam ini akan bertambah banyak, sehingga musik di negeri kita bukan hanya jadi musik pasaran berisi cinta melulu. Terima kasih telah membaca.

Permohonan maaf

Maaf, beberapa posting yang telah saya buat dalam bulan ini secara tak sengaja telah terhapus. Sebagai gantinya akan saya posting dua di antaranya menjadi satu.

Heal the World

OK, this is one of the inspiring song to me. It's true, there's love in this world. It must be an unconditional love, to make a better world to everyone. If everyone have it, this world can be like a heaven for us. Just remember how we are when we are still a children. We can accept everyone as our friend without any reason. That's why we must learn about the unconditional love from a pure, little children.

War is meaningless. It's only make a chain of hatred, there's no escape from it. But we can cut it before with some cares to our neighborhood. Let's share love, not hatred.

Our world has been wounded so much. Let's heal it together. For a better future of human races. Let's heal the world.

My-Otome OST: Dream Wing

This song is more cheerful than the opening song from My-Hime. The performer is same person like previous series, Minami Kuribayashi. Maybe it's because the series itself has another nuance than the previous series. This new series has a lighter nuance than My-Hime. Well, I'm not see it, but from the review I read it's not as complicated as the previous series. I've got the lyrics from animelyrics, but it's romaji only (Japanese lyrics). There's no translation version.
Well then maybe I'll make the translation like I did before. Wish me luck!

OK, that's it. See you next time.

Just Fly Away

Hello, What,s up! It's me again.

At last I found this song! Yeah!It's one of the Yonekura Chihiro's songs, "Just Fly Away". It's an opening song from Mon Colle Kinght , one of a vintage anime I like when I was a little children. I like this anime, it's funny and refreshing, and I still like it till now. Well, that time there's only a few animes broadcasted in my country. This is one of the best. The song imediately caught my attention.That's why I want to put it in here.

Yonekura Chihiro is also an artist who performing "Butterfly Kiss" from RAVE. She's good in a mellow song. But it's nice when she's perform this song, too.

So, here's the video from Youtube:



Thanks to anthraxleon for the video. Even it's just an AMV.

I also found the lyrics and the translation. Here is the Japanese lyrics. For the translation, you can go through to this link.

OK, that's all. I hope you can enjoy it.

Direct translation of "Open Your Mind"

Hello, how are you? After trying hard to translate this song, I come here to share it to the world, since I don't get any translation in any site. This is my first time, so I think it's not perfect yet. I just try to translate it directly, but I hope you can understand it.

Before the translation, I'll give you the TRUE Japanese lyrics, since I've seen a bad mistake in the romaji lyrics in animelyrics.com. Here is the TRUE lyrics of "Open Your Mind" by Youko Ishida, based on the kanji version from Gendou.com:


OPEN YOUR MIND

fukai ao no sekai koete meguriau
kaze ga toori nuketeku

maiorita masshiroi hane fuwari yurete
oshiminaku kakegaenai anata wo tsutsumitai
aisuru hito mamoru chikara ryoute ni motteru hazu (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku (open your mind)
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukeru
sou dare demo

kaze ga kagayaki dashitara arukidasou
mou kowakunai kara

chigireta kumo no mukou kawa hikari afure
massugu na michi sono saki ni nanika ga mieru deshou?
iki wo sutte kaze no nioi kanjite donna toki mo

hateshinaku hiroi ao no sekai
chiisana hane shinkokyuu shite
sora ni mukai habatakeru kara
sore wa mirai atarashii ashita
mitsukeru KAGI (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukeru

tobira wo hiraite (donna tobira demo)
itsudemo watashi soba ni iru wa (open your mind)
mienai hane hiroge (hora oikaze ni notte)
tobitatsu toki wa kuru no
sou dare demo

sora ga aoi...

And this is the direct translation from me:

OPEN YOUR MIND

Meet fortuitously in this deep, blue sky
The wind was came out to the avenue

Pure white wing swayed alight gently
Freely covering the irreplaceable you
It should be the power to protect the one I love in both my hand (Open your mind)

Open your heart (I always see the dream)
My wish rode the wind to the distant place (Open your mind)
This invisible wings (Look, you have it, too)
Can able to take you to the freedom place
And anyone, too

Walking together with the radiance wind
Cause there’s no afraid anymore

Light overflow beyond the side of tear clouds
Something can be seen straight in that front path, right?
Feel the scent of wind in your inhaled breath anytime

In this eternally vast, blue world
This little wings taking a deep breath
Because my wings flapping to the other side of the sky
There will be a new future for tomorrow
The key has been found (Open your Mind)

Open your heart (I always see the dream)
My wish rode the wind to the distant place
This invisible wings (Look, you have it, too)
Can able to take you to the freedom place

The gate has been opened (whatever the gate is)
I always being here anytime (Open your mind)
Spreading this invisible wings (Look, you can ride the tailwind now)
It’s time for take off now
Everyone can do it

The sky is blue.

About the romaji lyrics, I've done a change. I change the word "shintokyuu" to "shinkokyuu", means "taking a deep breath". This is something important, because I almost failed to translate this song if I don't heard the song again.

I had surfed the Google before made this translation. And because there's no one mad it yet, so I tried to be the first. Well, I hope you satisfy with this translate. Maybe it's still need an editing to make it better, I know it's still rough since it's a direct translation. And I'll accept any suggest from you about it.

Well, that's all. See you again!

It's a Green Peace

Well, it's not that environment NGO. It's about this song.



"Open Your Mind" By Youko Ishida

It's the song from Ishida Youko. After searching (again) Youtube, finally I found this video. Green is something that very stuck in my mind after seen this video clip. Before I seen it, I thought about a wide green grass plain like in the European village I always seen in TV. But it's not. It's not bad, actually.


She has an angelic voices. I like it. So peaceful.

You can see the lyrics in animelyrics.com.

Feel the breeze wind under your little wings and spread it, fly to the blue sky with freedom. Fly high, touch the blue sky above you.

See you again.

Naruto in Live Action!!

At last! Naruto comes to alive! Here's the trailer picture:

I took this picture from here. And for another information, please go to this link.

Well, it's up to you to say anything about the picture, but for me the cast for Naruto is ... errr... a little bit clumsy!Don be mad to me. I like Naruto more than Sasuke (ano bakayarou!). I hope his acting is not like that. Besides that I think the casts for Sai and Sasuke are so resemble to the characters in anime. Well, anyway, it's still surprising me to hear that the famous anime Naruto will be in Live Action form, even it's just a movie (At last!).

OK! That's all. See ya later!

Ya-Haaaa!!!! Finally!!

YA-Haaaaaa!!!!

Finally, Eyeshield 21 (a.k.a ES 21) finish! The End!! YA-Haaaaa!!

Well, I'm happy to see the last chapter of ES 21 in onemanga.com. But it feel sad, too. One of my favourite serial has been "the end". That mean there's no more ES 21 next week



Every story must have an ending, right? So it can't be helped (shouganai na).

Here's the full-color of the last chapter of ES 21.

Taken from Onemanga.com.

Kekekeke. I like this ending. Well, it's (of course) different from the anime's ending. I like this ending more than anime's ending.

This is one of the best serial I ever known. Both the anime and manga. I've post some of its OST in this blog. And they're good songs to hear.

OK, that's all. See you later. Ya-haaa!!

Finally....

Finally, I'm 21 years now. Well, maybe it's nothing for another one. But it's still something for me. I've past 2 decades of my life. It means I'm getting close to the end. It's something relief for me. I job in this planet will be done, and I'll get my rest. But there's something I must do first before the time is come.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I don't know what will happen to me after I posting this journal. I hope I can finish my job with excellent.

I hope I can still hear the music till my time to rest come. I hope I can still tell to anyone how beautiful it is. I hope everybody feel the same like me. It's a little bit egoist, isn't it? Well, why not. It's more better than wars the human being made before. I hope there's no after. I learns something from Macross Frontier I've been watched before. We can understand each other with music. It's so beautiful and also affecting or soul directly. I also like how they finally close the never ending battle between themselves and between vajra with them. I wonder it can be really realize in our real life. That's something I truly wish.

Well, it's nothing more than another opinion from me. It's nothing special nor important. I's just my opinion. It's just my opinion

I'm in Vox now

Well, it's like an OOT post again. Today I've made a new blog in VOX. You can see it by clicking this link.

Thanks.

Journey Through the Decade

Hello! How are you? I hope it's fine.

Do you know about Kamen Rider Decade? Kamen Rider Decade is the newest Kamen Rider series in this year. It's the tenth Rider in Heisei Rider series, that's why his name is Decade. Well, I don't know much about it. But I know that Gackt take a part in this serial as the Opening Song Performer. This is the video I took from Youtube:



The video shows a battle between Decade with a monster came upon him from Gackt's back. And in the end of the video you can see an interaction between him (in human form) and Gackt. Gackt is look like some kind of antagonist here, when he attacking Tsukasa (a human form of Decade). But until that, he turn back and going away, leaving Tsukasa alone. Well, maybe he do it because Tsukasa is ready to take an attack to him (maybe Tsukasa think he's a monster, too). The way Gackt launch a single attack to Tsukasa is cool. It feels like he said "you're too fast a hundred years to have a fight with me". That's why he prefer to go and not take a battle with him.

About the song, well, I think I like when he performing "Redemption" than this song. But it's not bad after all. It's still good to hear.

OK that's all. It's time to go. See you next time.

Hitomi Shimatani "Falco"

At last! There's someone put it in youtube! Thanks for dantelamperouge fannimieres.

First time I see this video I just can say WOW! It's mixing Indian music, futuristic style, and techno in one blend. It's quite new I guess.

I like the music, too.

So enjoy the song. See you next time :)

P.S (May, 8^th): Sorry, I've made a mistake with putting a wrong size video. I've fix it now, this one with Spanish subtitle. And I change the uploader since I used another video. Sincerely sorry.

Keita Tachibana's "Friend"

Hello, this is me again. How are you?
I've found (again) one of my fave anime song. This is "Friend" from keita Tachibana. Just hear his voice.


It's an OP from "Blue Dragon". Actually I think his voice's too rough. But it's not in worse level. Maybe because he's rocker. I like the guitar. I also like the part before chorus.

To bad, I don't see any translate version in animelyrics.com.


Ok, that's it for now. See you next time :)

Hello !
How are you today? It's fine, isn't it? I hope it's fine.

After a long time, I'll put another cool song I like from Yamada Yu.


This is the 1^st ending song from Blue Dragon Animation.

Even this song is for a girl, but I still like the song. And the lyrics is also nice.

The song is so cheerful, it's good to change the bad mood.

There's one thing emphasizing in this song. That is "JUST BE U". Yep, it's Just to be yourself. There's so much girls in Japan trying to be someone so they can being accepted in the popular group or some group they like. It looks like there's some pride or prestige to being in such of that group. Well, but the best is still to be yourself. Even there's no one consider yourself now, keep to be yourself.
When someone saying "You're not cool!" or something like that, just close your ears. It's a good habit, I guess.

Maybe no one see you now, but someday there will be some one looking at you. So just be yourself. That's the point!
Keep cheers!

OK, that's all. See you next time!
FLY SO HIGH ~~~

In Memoriam

Sorry, to be honest, if this post is feeling so blue. I've heard from my mom that her mother was died yesterday. My parents from Toraja, and it's so far from Makassar. And there's some condition that our family cannot go there to the burial ceremony. Well, even I'm not really remember my grandma (it has been more than 10 years I never back to Toraja) but I still sad because of it. I feel live is just like an ash, when the winds come it'll disappear so soon. Who knows, when the time they will die?

I remember about the song "Amazing Grace". I wanna put it in my recent post to make me remember how soon the life I have will disappear, too. When the time is come, I only want the Amazing Grace with me before i go to that place.

Bagpipe version.


Lean Rimes' version.

It's only a thing I make to commemorate my grandma. And also reminds me about what is life.

That's all. Thanks for coming and read my blog. See you next time!

Onion head in my blog :)

Hello, how are you? I've done with my "maintenance" now. I've add an Onion Emoticon, and from now on I'll use it in my post.


Hehehehehe..... I think it'll soooo interesting from now on!

I hope my blog didn't being too heavy to open. Thanks for still read my blog

See ya again!

Tulisan Iseng dari Makassar

Lagi iseng menulis blog dari warnet langganan di sore ini ditemani lagu Indonesia yang dibawakan Kotak Band. Judulnya lupa, yang pasti syairnya ada "kamu... tak tahu... rasanya... hatiku...". Masih dengan tugas yang perlu dikerjakan.

Di luar hujan sudah mereda. Tapi efeknya belum kurang-kurang juga. Lembabnya minta ampun. Virus-virus flu bakalan kegirangan karena penyebarannya makin mudah. Di sekitarku saja sudah ada beberapa orang yang kena.

Tapi hujan juga tidak buruk-buruk sekali. Ada nuansa spesial dalam cuaca yang remang-remang seperti ini. Agak melankolis gimana, gitu :). Kalau mendengarkan lagu sementara bersantai rasanya enak kalau cuacanya begini. Tidak dingin sekali, tapi lumayan sejuk. Lagu-lagu di warnet ini lumayan enak sekarang ini, meski cuma dari band-band baru yang namanya tidak semuanya saya hapal. Cuma musik mereka yang mudah masuk kepala (dan kadang juga mudah keluar semudah masuknya) lumayan menyenangkan. Lebih mending dari lagu MENGHINA yang saya dengar beberapa kali di warnet ini (sudah pernah saya tulis sebelumnya). Semoga hari ini lagu itu tidak diputar. Cuma bikin dosa kalau dengar lagu seperti itu. Masih mending dengar lagu "Mantan Kekasihku" yang diputar sekarang.

Hujan mulai melanda Indonesia, semoga tidak ada lagi bencana. Semoga tidak ada banjir (AMIN!) dan longsor (lagi) (AMIN!!!). Yang lain, jangan lupa makan vitamin C dan jangan lupa makan siang (karena cuaca dingin meski lapar kadang ada yang bawaannya malas goyang untuk mengambil atau mencari makanan, setidaknya untuk saya). Jangan sampai kena maag seperti yang terjadi pada saya sekarang. Perihnya itu,lho, makyuuusss *halah*. OK, that's all. Lega juga mengeluarkan sedikit kata-kata di sini. Melihat angka terus-terusan jadinya bosan juga. See ya next time :) !

Oricon chart this week! Kumi Koda Wins the first place!

Hello, it's the top 10 oricon's chart for this week. Kumi koda and her sister, Misono, is in the top of the chart with "It's all love". Kumi Koda is one of most female singers I like in Japanese music. The second place is AKB IDLING!! with "Chushiyoze". The third place there's Mai Kuraki with "Puzzle/Revive".

From 4^th to 7^th we have Kaori Mizumori (Akino Miyajima) Yusuke (Himawari), Gackt (Journey to the Decade), and Arashi/Kenta Yano starring Satoshi Ohno (Believe/Kumorinochi). Gackt has kicked down the second place. Same for Yusuke, he has been kicked from his place. Meanwhile Arashi / Kenta Yano succesfully still in the 7^th place just like last week.

PERFUME with "One Room Disco" has been drop, too, from the first place to the 8^th place. Next place there's Masayoshi Yamazaki with "Haru mo Arashi mo". And in the 10^th place there's Junko Akimoto with "Ainomamade..".

For the other, i suggest you directly to Oricon's site. OK, that's all. See you later :D !

Tulisan Sore dari Makassar

Tulisan ini hanyalah curahan hati atas unek-unek yang saya sedang pikirkan di sela-sela pembuatan lapran yang sudah nyaris deadline.

Sore ini sedang asyik-asyiknya mengetik saya mendengarkan sebuah lagu yang sangat tidak menyenangkan di dengar. Lagu yang isinya cuma SUMPAH SERAPAH terhadap sebuah grup. Lagu dengan gaya rap yang SANGAT-SANGAT KASAR DAN SOK KEBAGUSAN PADAHAL JELEK BANGET itu mengatasnamakan sebuah fandom besar dari band ternama (yang pernah dengar mungkin tau, inisialnya...... pokoknya ada angkanya, dua digit :P ). band ini menjelek-jelekkan grup wanita yang sedang naik daun saat ini. Walau bukan seorang fans dari grup tersebut, saya merasa gerah juga dengan isi lagu tersebut. Jadi ingat kasus lagu anti Kangen Band dulu. Yang pasti kali ini lebih jelek lagi. Judulnya tidak saya ketahui, dan tidak minat untuk cari tahu.

Sebagai penikmat musik saya tidak habis pikir kenapa ada orang yang mau-maunya berbuat seperti ini. Tindakan yang saya golongkan penghinaan ini sebenarnya adalah cerminan betapa buruknya moral yang menyanyikan lagu tersebut. untuk saya orang yang menghakimi orang lain dengan mengatainya manusia rendahan dan tak bermoral seperti ini malah lebih rendah lagi. Saya menyukai musik dan pemusik, meski ada juga yang agak saya kurang suka. Tapi toh itu tidak serta-merta membuat saya mengatai orang tersebut dengan segala sumpah serapah menjijikkan. Itu karena saya masih beragama. Saya jadi bertanya-tanay, apa orang yang menyanyi lagu itu orang yang beragama, ya?

Jika memang tidak suka tidak masalah, tapi kalau menghina dengan sumpah serapah (grup manapun yang diserapahi) saya tidak senang. Masa' penikmat musik Indo kayak gini? Jangan bikin malu Indonesia dengan melakukan tindakan semacam ini. Semoga tidak ada lagi musik dengan aliran hitam terlarang (penghinaan dan sumpah serapah berkedok musik) semacam ini lagi. MAri ciptakan musik Indonesia yang bersih dan saling menghormati dan menghargai. Toh untuk Indonesia tersayang ini juga :)

Roulette: Aku Jatuh Cinta

Inilah lagu yang dulunya saya kira dinyanyikan oleh Padi. Lagu inilah yang diputar dalam ruang operasi saat saya dioperasi bulan Agustus lalu. Yang saya hapal cuma pada saat refrein saja. Bagian itu yang paling saya ingat sari keseluruhan lagu. Baru beberapa hari lalu saya lihat di warnet judul lagu ini sebenarnya. Setiap kali saya mendengarkan lagu ini jadi ingat waktu dioperasi dulu. Saat-saat diopname, dan saat sudah dioperasinya. Lagu ini cuma sepenggal saja saya dengarkan saat operasi dulu. Selanjutnya saya hilang kesadaran.

OK, silakan nikmati viseo hasil embed dari Youtube (seperti biasa).

(Pernyataan disclaimer: Lagu ini adalah milik Roulette dan perusahaan musik yang memproduseri. Sebagai orang Indonesia yang baik, hargailah hak karnya orang lain dengan membeli yang asli. Lebih enak dengarkan semua tracknya dibandingkan satu lagu saja, kan?).

Lagu memiliki kesan tersendiri karena mengiringi sebuah peristiwa dalam hidup seseorang. Makanya lagu dapat menyentuh hati. Dengan mendengarkan lagu ini saya akan ingat bahwa saya pernah dioperasi (ringan, sih) dan masih hidup untuk bernapas lega (operasinya cuma perbaikan Deviasi Septum doang. Yang kuliah kedokteran pasti ngerti).

Segitu aja dulu. Makasih sudah berkunjung.

Butterfly Kiss

The first song from RAVE the animation. At last there's someone uploading it to Youtube. Thanks! Well, for US audience this song is not available to seen. The US version, called Rave-o-lution use the dub version, which a 100 % different from the Japanese version. HONESTLY, it's so worst to see. The dub version I've seen in youtube some years ago is deflecting everything I've imagine about this anime. Actually it's a cool shounen anime, but the dubbed opening song made it so dumb, clown-like anime.

Hearing the real song is much far better than the dubbed version. Yonekura Chihiro singing it good so it being an easy listening song. The blend of the music instruments in this song create a nice rhythm and beat. This song describing the RAVE world so perfect. Better than the worst dubbed version.

Here's the TV version of this song.


And this is the live version:


The musicians looks like familiar to me. Maybe they're JAM Project, the group that perform "Little Wings", an opening OST from Scrapped Princess. Well, it's just my guess. I don't know it exactly.

OK, that's all. See you next time!

Translation of My Pace

I've found the translation lyrics from Gendou. Thanks for somebody (the nickname is SG2 or suupaa gohan 2) who put it in. It reveal the meaning of the song. It's just like the video tell to you when you're watching it.

Count 1. It's good to improve
Count 2. It's good to rest
Count 3. It's good to think
It's good to be able to progress at my own pace.

Left behind in the flow of time
Impatient feelings are often being forgotten
It is a wasteful, reckless challenge, after all
Often saying things to that which is abandoned

Offense!! In the hard times, raise your voice
And get going
Offense!! Aim for the direction you see yourself
And meet it head-on

Rise up to the big wall
You don’t need to be afraid
In this human existence with no answers
I can pay back my confusion if I just
Keep my pace

First!! I counted, it’s OK to go ahead
Second!! I counted, it’s OK to rest
Third!! I counted, it’s OK to think about it
As I continue at my pace

Studying the truth of reason
And not understanding, we lose our freedom
Even when called a cowardly person
Take a step forward; that is courage

Offense!! Turn around, use the strength of your voice
And get going
Offense!! Bolster your strength on your shoulders
Now, look ahead

The map of the future is painted into the sky
Yet even now, it doesn’t reach
When the time comes that I stretch out both hands
I’ll be able to grasp it, and
Keep my pace

Offense!! With even just a big voice, it can be done
And you’ll see
Offense!! Aim for the direction you see yourself
And meet it head-on

Rise up to the big wall
You don’t need to be afraid
Even if it doesn’t work out and you run away
It’s not going to change

The echo of the first bell sounds
Now is the time to stand up
In this human existence with no answers
I can pay back my confusion if I just
Keep my pace

First!! I counted, it’s OK to go ahead
Second!! I counted, it’s OK to rest
Third!! I counted, it’s OK to think about it
As I continue at my pace.

My Pace by Sunset Swish

The longest PV I ever know. The unique one from Bleach. The folk music make it special. I like folk music. It have something that modern music doesn't have. OK, anyway, here is the lyrics.

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

Toki ga nagare tori no kosare
Aseru kimochi wo wasureru nakare
Mubou na chousen shosen muda to
Iwarete akirameru koto nakare

Ofensu! kurushii toki ni
Koso koe wo dashite ikou
Ofensu! jibun ga
Mezashiteru hou e mukae

Sobie tatta ooki na kabe ni
Osoreru koto wa nai
Kotae no nai kono jinsei wo
Mayou koto naku
Keep My Pace

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,

Manabu koto no hontou no riyuu
Wakarazu ushinau bokura no jiyuu
Okubyou mono to yobaretemo
Ippo yuzureru sore ga yuuki

Ofensu! Mawari nado

Ofensu! kata no chikara wo nuite

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,

As usual, I took this from Animelyrics.com. I don't get the translation in it. Too bad.

Even I have a bad skill in Japanese Language, from the video I understand it. It's a good PV. The story in it made it more longer than another PV. But it helping to show the meaning of the song. So it's an equal trade.

OK, that's it. See you next time.

Stay away bu L`Arc~en~Ciel

The one and only PV where Laruku dancing like a young man. They're great in para-para dancing. Who guest? But I've heard it's the one and only dancing PV they have. But still it's good.

Pride of Tomorrow - JUNE

Upload in Youtube By Otakuness.

First thing I can say about this PV is: Cool! The dance is cool. Looks like JUNE feel the song with his body, too. I fell the song's meaning by seeing him dancing. The first part of his dance is a regret style. But soon it change to something powerful, like he revive from his lost. The second part of his dance is full of energy.

The song itself have a good meaning. Well, actually it's a common theme in anime's OST. It's about revive from the ground zero to the peak. I don't know if the words "Trying to bury the things that I've lost, I've let go of my pride. I'm going to take it back with my own two hands; I can see the light of tomorrow. Pride of tomorrow" is an analog or it's a real meaning. It's a something that Japanese usually use to describe about revive from the failed step or get the spirit back after failed. Most of anime's OST I've ever known were used this theme. But it's suitable to the anime itself. Because the main character seems like that. Well, I'm not watching D-Gray Man yet. But I've read the resume, and I think to restore from his condition needs a great braveness.

The Pride of Tomorrow, or I interpreting it as "The Pride to seek 'tomorrow'". It looks the one who's in the song has been failed or defeated by something. But he don't wanna to walking in sullen. He instead threw his lost and wake up to revenge it. It's like the main character in D-Gray Man when he get up to revenge Sennen Hakushaku who was killed someone important in his life. Maybe the maker of this anime choose this song because its meaning, just like another anime. And it's important to them, because the song (OST) is kinda preface to the anime itself.

JUNE in his dance is good. I know he's the great dancer from his posture. Only the good dancer have the thin-but-muscle arm and the thin body like that. Makes me remember The Rain.

OK, that's all. See you again :).

End of month

Hello, there! It's an end of the month. And the next month is one of my important months in a year. It's the month when I first posted in this blog. Thanks for everyone who read this blog in this month. And also who read this till now. Many thanks.

I've finished an event in my campus. It took a little bit concentration, but that's worth. From now, I'll work hard again in here. Wish me luck! I'll put a polling in this blog (again). And I hope you want to help me to improve myself by choosing it each time you come here. It will be something good to me. Thanks before.

Well, that's all. See you next time!

A Whole You World

Well, it's maybe an old song, but still good. Performed by Peabo Brysen and Regina Belle, this song was won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. One of the greatest animation original song ever known.

It's 14 now. Happy Valentine, Everyone!

Tomorrow by Shimokawa Mikuni

It's a song from fullmetal.panic! (the first number from "fullmetal panic" series).

I like this part:
"kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo
kimi to mitsuke ni yukou
itami sae mo kakaenagara
atarashii keshiki
motto tooku made
mukae ni yukou"

In English, this part has been translated as:
"I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go
Even further on
To meet the new scenery".

Well,it's a quite romantic, I guess. Each person must find its meaning in this world. I interpreting this song as a reason why we born in this world. Each men always have their right live partner (suppose to be, this is one of my live principles). When together is better than alone. There's something more beautiful waiting when walking together to the same way than alone or fighting each other because we're walking in a different way. Peace and love is more better than riot and war, right?

I guess I'll answer the girl which singing in this song with my pure heart, because she giving me her truly heart and feeling, too. Well, it's just my imagination if I'm become someone the girl in this song call as "you". Hey, who want to reject it? It's something I think. I don't know when I get a girl like this. I hope she's real.

OK that's all. See you next time. Thanks for read this blog.

Well, OOT again (skip it if you don't want to see it).

If you doesn't like any game, don't read this! Sorry, but I've seen two Online Gaming sites. The first is Cabal Online and the second is La Tale Online The second one is cute, the first one is a little bit like RF Online. Well, I just give some notes for myself. No picture this time. That's all.

Umbrella (Covered Version) by Vanilla Sky

Hello, how are you? I hope you're fine today. Keep trying to reach your New Year's Resolutions. I wish you can catch them all :) ! Well, anyway, here's the new post today.It's a covered version of the famous song from Rihanna,"Umbrella". This is the video I've got from Youtube:




Are they really do it? Wow, it shocking me! To see some guys in those scenes, with some dress just like Rihanna! Wow again! Well, actually it's still good and funny. The performer's voice, too. I like this cover version than any versions, one of my favorite. The another one is the soul version (I don't know who's the performer). Well, don't be nauseous to see this if you don't like some men using a girl's suit. And also when you see the video in 2:17 (well, see it by yourself). It's just covered version anyway, just like doujinshi from this song.

First time I heard this song I have some good feeling on it. I never thinking that "Umbrella" can being performed by a man. And that makes the song have a different taste than the real version. It's like the boy's version (this song can be perform by both boys and girls. I never thinking it before hear this song).

After all, they're pretty good and funny to cover Rihanna. I like it, though there's something shocking me (for Vanilla Sky fans, don't blame me, please. Sorry if this disgrace you all :) ). Thank you for read this post. See ya!

"Malaikat Juga Tahu" by Dewi Lestari

Hello! As I said last time, here's my post. It's a song from one of female singer from Indonesia. Here's the video from Youtube:

Uploaded by angelsky166

This is the Indonesian lyrics (taken from Liriksong ):
Lelahmu jadi lelahku juga
Bahagiamu bahagiaku juga
Berbagi takdir kita selalu
Kecuali tiap kau jatuh hati

Kali ini hampir habis dayaku
Membuktikan padamu ada cinta yang nyata
Setia hadir setiap hari
Tak tega biarkan kau sendiri

Meski seringkali kau malah asyik sendiri
Karena kau tak lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu siapa yang jadi juaranya

Hampamu tak kan hilang semalam
Oleh pacar impian
Tetapi kesempatan untukku yang mungkin tak sempurna
Tapi siap untuk diuji
Kupercaya diri
Cintaku yang sejati

Namun tak kau lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu siapa yang jadi juaranya

Kau selalu meminta terus kutemani
Engkau selalu bercanda andai wajahku diganti
Relakan ku pergi
Karna tak sanggup sendiri

Namun tak kau lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu Aku kan jadi juaranya

I try to translate it to English:

Your tired is my tired, too
Your happiness is my happiness, too
Always sharing our divine together
Unless each time you felt in love

Now, my power is almost finish
To proving you there's a real love
faithfully every day
Not daring to leave you alone

Even you often busy with yourself instead
Because you didn't seen sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

The emptiness without you can't lost in one night
by the imaginary lovers
But by a chance to me that maybe isn't perfect
but ready to being test
I'm confidence
My love is the real

But you don't see, sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

You always ask me to accompany you
You always joking if my face can be substitute
Allow me to leave
'Cos I can't be alone

But you don't see, sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

That's the translation. Well, I'm not sure it's 100% true, because my English is not very well good. And also there's a problem to convert the literature on the lyrics to English's literature. The poems is not being poems again in my translation. Sorry. But I hope you can understand that there's a lady with unconditional love in this song who always give her love to someone she love, but he's not recognize it. how poor. The MV looks like doesn't tell the song's content perfectly like in my mind. But it take another example, where the man is an autism (well, my sister said it doesn't look like an autism perfectly). That's why she said that he always busy with his own world, himself. Even so, she always tried to love him. Till she can't love him anymore. how poor, isn't it? It's one of some most heart-touching songs in my country (for me). It's worth to see.

OK, that's all. See you again in the next song!

First Entry For this Month

Hello, everyone. Thanks for coming to this blog. Here's some introduction to this month's posts. This is just a little note. If you want to skip it, go ahead. The theme for this month is love. But I'll try to find the good song to review in here. Wish me to find them soon. Well, that's it. Thanks.

Hello, how are you?

Just wanna say how are you to all over the world. Next month is the "Love Month". So, I'll also use it to my thematic post. I hope I can find a good song to post in this blog next month. Wish me so :). See you again next month ;)

D-Technolive

Uploaded by snapamonkey.

Hello, Happy Chinese New Year!
Yesterday was the celebration for Chinese all over the world. I hope this year you'll always full of joy and prosperity.

Well, since I've got idea to write something, today I post one more BLEACH's Song. Here's D-Technolive by Uverworld. Both the music and the lyrics is so cool. It also have a great moral message. I put the video, and it looks like it has been subbed. So, you doesn't need to find the meaning anymore. But if you still want to find something about this song's lyrics, just come to here.

About the message, I feel this song is a good OST for the anime like BLEACH. The song's meaning and the anime story is maching each other. The song is like the Ichigo's feeling to Rukia, who looks like have some burden in her shoulder. I like the part "mou waraenai nante hito girai nante kotoba sou iwanai de" or in English "Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people". Also the part "itami wo shiru koto de hito ni yasashiku nareru kara" or in English "By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others".

I think, wow, the meaning is so good. And the beat is just clarify it. It's so high and enthusiastic. The good way to send the song's message. So, are you same the same feeling, too, the feeling so hurt by pain and sadness? Just find your best friend and your best relation to cheer you up. Your best friends is not those only be with you when you happy, but instead in your sadness and also in your happiness. If you want to look around you'll find them. I hope you'll find them.

Well, that's all. See you again next time!

"Jikan yo Tomare feat. Seamo" by AZU

I never hear this performer before. But when I heard this song, I'm immediately love this song. It's not like a common suck love song. It's more romantic. Well, even the meaning is same, but how the song tell it make it different. The way she describing her love to him is so appropriate to the "Itazura na Kiss" story.

I think it's normal if some lovers want the time to stop when they're together. Yeah, for those who have best friend surely know that. They don't wanna end it. And it feels so wonderful. Well, I think it's the good time to put this OST since next month every place in this world will be full with love. Yes, next month is a month where everyone celebrating Valentine's Day. It also my sister's birthday :D So everyone in the world is also celebrate my sister's birthday :P.

Well, that's all. Let's spread the love to the air. See ya again :) !

Kimi, Meguro,Boku by Hata Motohiro

Well, for everybody who know "Itazura na Kiss" anime version, will soon knowing this song. I've looking this song some days ago. And I've found it. I also DL it :P. Thanks to suessesmausl who has been upload this song into Youtube. It's a good song.

I like this song's video clip. It's a short story that you'll understand even if you don't know the Japanese language. I can still enjoy it even I only know some Japanese vocabularies. It makes the song more real. And I think it's a good idea to using this song in anime like "Itazura na Kiss".

Here's the Opening version:


Well, I don't found the karaoke version. But I got the HQ version instead. Both the opening version and the Video Clip mean the same thing. I've seen this anime (fansub version), but I forget the song's meaning.

OK, that's all. See you next time!

Lion, Second Opening from Macross Frontier

I've read this song has been sold in magnificent values. It said that this song has been the most popular anime OST this time. Well, for me it's not to special. But the beat is good. I like it. Reminds me to Gundam Songs (some of the song has a good beat, too).

OK, that's it. See you again!

Out-Of-Topic (OOT), just for refreshing

Well, as the title said, this new post is out of the blog's topic. It's about a cool, cute online game I've found. The game's title is "Emil Chronicle Online". It looks cute and funny. Just like Ragnarok, I guess. You can look the trailer in this link . Oh, an I've took a screenshot from this site. Here's the picture:

The video is funny and cute. I hope Lyto in my country take this game, too. The English version is coming up. This game was developed by Gravity. Corp and GungHo Online Entertainment, Ltd. Don't forget to look it. OK, that's all.

AIMO ~ Tori no Hito

Hello, how are you? I hope you're okay. This is the new post for today.

Today's post is Aimo~tori no Hito. It's an insert song from Macross Frontier performed by Megumi Nakajima as Ranka Lee. It looks like a ballad song and have a little taste from Middle Age music. It's like a Vatican song :). For this song, I've found one song performed by Megumi Nakajima in full version and have another taste from the Macross' version. Here's the video:


When I compared it with the lyrics from animelyrics.com , I don't find some matches with the lyrics. But I've got another video, still from Youtube, that seems so matching with the lyrics. Here's the video;


This version is more taste like ancient Greek ballad (I guess the lyrics contain some of Greek's vocabulary. Tell me if I'm wrong). And also, it's more soft than the first one. This is the insert song version.

I like both version. That makes me more like this song. I think the second one is great if you looking for a soft, calm song. But the first one can raise your spirit. Well, it's up to you. See you net time!

Triangler by Sakamoto Maaya

Hello, Everyone! It's a new year! It's my first post this year. Thanks for coming to my blog.

Well, I think for anime lovers and who always up-to-date to any news from anime world knows Macross Frontier. But if you don't know this title, don't be hesitate to go to this link . From any Macross series I've seen, this title is the best. Even the story is not deeper as another series, but the art is so cool. The combat scenes is awesome. But I'm not suggest you this title if you hate fan services. As long as I see, there's some fan boy services in this anime. But it's not as rough as DearS' fanservices or Green-green. So, for me, this anime's rating should be 15+ (for adult teenager is more better). Even so, I love the songs from this anime. Yes, one of the plus values from this anime is the songs. One of the song from this anime is "Triangler" (1^st OP song). Here's the video from Youtube:


The video include subtitle in English and Japanese. So, you don't must to find dictionary to translate the song. Well, enjoy the song. See you next time.
